Iraq crisis
The Iraqi government forces have clashed with Sunni rebels, led by the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant who are an al-Qaeda breakaway group, after they took control of a number of cities.
Iraq’s Sunnis are increasingly disenchanted with what they see as their marginalisation by the Shia-dominated government in Baghdad.
the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levan or more commonly known as ISIS was formed in April 2013 and grew out of al-Qaeda in Iraq (AQI). It has since been disavowed by al-Qaeda, but become one of the main jihadist groups fighting government forces in Syria and is making military gains in Iraq.
Its size is unclear but it is thought to include thousands of fighters, including many foreign jihadists. Correspondents say it appears to be surpassing al-Qaeda as the world’s most dangerous jihadist group
Today durring Priministers questions David Cameron has warned Ignoring the threat from Islamist extremism in the Middle East and parts of Africa will “come back to hit the UK”,
The prime minister told MPs that it was wrong to think the crisis in Iraq was “nothing to do” with the UK.

Mr Cameron also announced extra humanitarian aid for Iraq.
Today The Iraqi army says it has driven off Islamist-led militants attacking the country’s biggest oil refinery amid reports it was overrun. But the theart of repeat attacks are still a big posibility.
Government forces are battling to push back ISIS and its Sunni Muslim allies in Diyala and Salahuddin provinces, after the militants overran the second city, Mosul, last week.
Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki has gone on television to urge Iraqis to unite against the militants. But there are no signs of this conflict ending soon.
this is the map of how the crisis is unfolding.
